All About Steve (Movie Review)

Rating:

All About Steve has to be one of the worst movies of the year and certainly the worst of Sandra Bullock’s career. To make matters worse, she also produced it. Double slap. The comedy is meant to be funny, but instead, it leaves viewers frustrated and irritated. This vapid, insipid story fails to engage and is a waste of a good cast.

The premise is awful and unoriginal. After one date with a CNN cameraman (Bradley Cooper), Mary Horowitz (Sandra Bullock), a brilliant crossword-puzzle constructor, decides he is her true love. As she alienates him by trailing him across the country, she bonds with a group of misfits who appreciate her eccentric nature.

If you’ve seen The Proposal, you know Bullock can shine in a much better comedy. That film was a box office hit on its release. So what happened here? It’s simply a case of a bad script. Nothing and no one can escape that “disease.” All About Steve is a train wreck from the very start, and you should avoid it at all costs.
